~Our Letter To Congress~

There is an alarming wave of deaths among our country’s youth; a wave
that continues to go unnoticed by mainstream media. Adolescents across
the nation are victims of unintentional fatalities caused by their
participation in the “choking game” and though known by many names, the
intent is to pass out purposely for amusement or for a “buzz”. This
silent epidemic that focuses the most brutal results on our very young
middle schoolers, remains hidden from public attention because currently
there is no way to accurately track and report the number of cases.
This lack of statistical proof also limits prevention efforts promoted
by the grass-roots organization of the thousands of grieving families
who have lost a child to this insidious “game”.

As your constituent, I have signed my name below to ask that you help us help our children by doing the following:

1. Call the CDC and request to be briefed on the issue of the “choking game”.

2. Support the CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services by
requesting that the World Health Organization add a sub code that
includes the “choking game” as a cause of death.

3. Include the “choking game” among the health-risk behaviors that
contribute to the leading causes of death and disability among youth in
the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), and make the YRBS
affordable and accessible for all states.

4. Support the CDC’s Division of Adolescent and School Health (DASH)
model of education as the means to disseminate information regarding the
“choking game”.

Enduring the death of a child is heartbreaking. As my representative to
Congress, I ask that you help me prevent other families from this
heartache by showing your support in establishing statistical evidence
of the “choking game,” Your efforts will assist us in heightening
awareness among teens and their parents, teachers, and health care
providers.

Thank you,

My addition to the letter as a nurse and Injury Prevention Specialist~~

As a Registered Nurse for over 24 years most of my years have been spent
in Emergency Nursing and the countless deaths of children and teens
that are called "suicides" may possibly actually be cause from this
youth risk behavior named TCG or the choking game. We at Ed4Ed4all.com
have devoted our lives to helping STOP this behavior and other risky
behaviors like it that are taking our loved and cherished children away.
Our Education for educators and parents is available free. Please help
us to stop the choking game so more parents can actually see their kids
graduate high school, walk down the aisle at their weddings and raise
grandchildren that are our future.
Thank you for signing this petition!! http://www.petition2congress.com/5809/stop-choking-game/
I sign it for your kids! my kids, grand kids and the future of our country.

Please take the time to sign the petition, email it to your Congressmen, pay the extra mere $9.00 to also have the letters printed and hand delivered to their offices on Capital Hill. We can make an impact, we are the voters!
